Default Dual-boot Win 98 + Win 3.1, without 2 partitions?

Hello.

I wish to dual-boot Windows 98 + Windows 3.1, but I don't want to work
with partitioning my hard drive. Windows 98 is installed in a FAT32
partition - ~850MB.

I thought about the following:

- Windows 98 in C:\WINDOWS
- Windows 3.1 in C:\WIN311

- boot in MS-DOS mode
- CD to the appropriate folder and give "WIN" command

Would this work? I fear that Windows 3.1' File Manager will choke on
long file names and FAT32.
